Removal
1. Remove the timing drive components.

2. CAUTION: Cylinder head camshaft bearing caps must be assembled in their original positions. Some engines have factory markings on the camshaft bearing caps (as shown in illustration). Engines that do not have the factory markings must be marked for correct position and orientation prior to removal. Failure to install the camshaft bearing caps in their original position may result in severe engine damage.

If necessary, mark the camshaft bearing cap position and orientation as shown in the illustration.





3. CAUTION: After loosening all of the camshaft bearing cap bolts, remove the camshaft bearing thrust caps (5R and 1R) first, or damage to the thrust caps may occur.

NOTE: Make sure the camshaft bearing caps are marked as instructed in the previous step.

Loosen the bolts evenly in the sequence shown.
1. Remove the camshaft bearing thrust caps (5R and 1R).
2. Remove the remaining camshaft bearing caps.
3. Remove the camshafts from the cylinder head.
